Examples
Register a handler for POST requests
import { api } from '@nitric/sdk';
const PARAM_ID = 'customerId';
const customerRoute = api('public').route(`/customers`);
customerRoute.post((ctx) => {
// handle the POST request...
const responseBody = {};
ctx.res.json(responseBody);
});
Chain functions as a single method handler
When multiple functions are provided they will be called as a chain. If one succeeds, it will move on to the next. This allows middleware to be composed into more complex handlers.
import { api } from '@nitric/sdk';
import { validate } from '../middleware';
const postCustomer = (ctx) => {
// handle the POST request...
const responseBody = {};
ctx.res.json(responseBody);
};
const customerRoute = api('public').route(`/customers`);
customerRoute.post([validate, postCustomer]);
Access the request body
The POST request body is accessible from the ctx.req
object.
import { api } from '@nitric/sdk';
const customerRoute = api('public').route(`/customers`);
customerRoute.post((ctx) => {
const customerData = ctx.req.data;
// parse, validate and store the request payload...
});
